Description

This sequence change results in a frameshift in the FLCN gene (p.Leu539Profs*63). While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to disrupt the last 41 amino acid(s) of the FLCN protein and extend the protein by 21 additional amino acid residues. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with FLCN-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 1776474). This variant disrupts a region of the FLCN protein in which other variant(s) (p.Trp553*) have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 28558743; Invitae). This suggests that this is a clinically significant region of the protein, and that variants that disrupt it are likely to be disease-causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.
